MBDA signed a MoU with Romarm and Electromecanica Ploiesti

During the visit of French President Macron in Romania on the 24th of August, and in the framework of the Strategic Agreement between Romania and France, the European leader for tactical missile systems MBDA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Romanian state-owned defence group Romarm and its subsidiary Electromecanica Ploiesti.

French President Macron and Romanian President Iohannis witnessed the signature of this MoU.

This Memorandum will allow the three parties to define and present the best French proposal for state of the art tactical missile systems in response to the operational requirements of the Romanian Armed Forces for land based air defence systems. In accordance with requirements set by the CSAT*, this will sustain the development of the Romanian defense industry through industrial co-operation, local production and transfer of technology, in line with the European initiative of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO).

This will also constitute an important step of the reinforcement of the European industrial pillar of NATO.
